An Akita Named KILLER!

2008.01.24
Fannie holding Killer

What a beautiful puppy


Today at work, our Medical Director, Dr. T, brought in his new 9 week Akita puppy!

I've never really been a dog person but after playing with this puppy I excitedly asked my husband could we buy one for the "kids".

Note: (Now saying "it's for the kids" usually works but he sadly said no!)

Any suggestions on how I can persuade him? :)

Anyway, Dr. T still hadn't named her, so Fannie and I decided to call her Killer. :)

aknor Killer...very funny with a face like that!! I wish I had some good advice for you on convincing your hubby - I have been working on mine for a year and a half - no luck. I don't have the "kids" angle to work but I have tried everything else that I can think of. If you find something that works - shoot it my way and I'll do the same for you. Really great shots of a Killer....

DancingDolphin How cute! Killer is a GREAT name!

I'm with your husband on this one.... Lex talked us into buying a dog "for her", that yours truly ended up walking, feeding, etc. Then yours truly ultimately got left with the dog when everyone was gone. Volunteer to 'dog sit' ... your friends will love you and everyone will live happily ever after!

Beagles3 One way to get a puppy is to just go get one!! Or better yet rescue a dog from a shelter or rescue group. Save a life, that is always a good reason! (BTW I do beagle rescue! *as she jumps down from her soap box*

Queen911 Your co worker looks good with the puppy, may she can get one and you and the "kids" can visit. I remember "Price" the rabbit.

oldbabe Your mom never told me you had such a heartless husband!!!!
(How could you say "no" to a cutie like that?)

jendayee I don't know how you can get him to accept but I know he is really cute !

KerBear What an adorable puppy! Thanks for sharing!!! The last one is so cute... she looks confused by the water bowl!!

ambercamille He looks viscious! Tell your hubby your friend has a puppy that you need to babysit for a week (but secretly go buy the one you want). After a week is up, he'll be so attached he won't let the puppy go! :c)

picturemom cute shots. first, you need to find a dog that doesn't shed and won't chew on anything, can open and shut the door itself in the middle of the night when it has to go out, only barks at intruders and naughty kids ....then he wil want one......shoot gotta go my dog has to go out into the -18 degree night for walk.......

MHJphotos 'Killer' ... classic! The only thing that adorable little puppy is going to kill is your spirit because your husband said no! Such a sweet looking dog!

lexlevans Akita's are so cute!

my mom is so dramatic sometimes. she likes to think the dog was 'all mine' but come on, when you buy a dog 'for someone' who's in 6th grade you kind of have to expect that it will be a family dog. and she's totally exaggerating about how she did 'everything'. i walked and fed that dog just as much as she did! haha, don't you love having a mother-daughter quarrel on your blog ;-)
lexlevans · 2008-01-25: 12:09
lexlevans oh, and just keep telling your husband how dogs bring such joy to your life - they are such fun. i'm getting one as soon as i can. and it will be ALL mine ;-)

youlookmahvelous What a cutie, My room mate used to have a full grown Akita and it was the sweetest dog. (Huge) Nice shots.

focussed How about convincing him that he needs a dog to protect his most valuable assests in life:- his family and home. If that doesn't work just nag and nag until he is sick of hearing about it and says yes just to shut you up.... ( Mark tries this technique on me every time he decides he needs a new car. Be warned! :- It usually inst successful and leads to fights.)
